I was able to confirm the Boeing order, but I have no success with that apparent order. "La Presse" is a serious newspaper; don't know what happened...

Anyway, the closest I came to confirm this order was with the Parisian business newspaper "Les Échos", dated June 30th, 2003, saying that Airbus is about to close a sale of 8 planes to Air Algérie (no type specified).
